My girls love headbands. I love them, too, as they are such a cute, creative way to keep wispy hairs out of eyes and add a touch of easy fun to simple hairdos.

Alice and I were bored a few weeks ago and I had collected a bowl of broken vintage jewelry parts and old buttons and bright beads just awaiting a project. The girls had amassed quite the collection of headbands, many just plain or solid colors. Add a glue gun, and voila!

A whole new collection of quirky hair accessories! And who doesn't love a little bling in the spring, right?

About Amy Pence-Brown

I live in Boise and have a masters degree in art & architectural history, with unusual past careers including picking up the dead at night for a funeral home and being a curator at the only art museum in Idaho. I now divide my time between being a Radical Homemaker, mom to two quirky girls, Lucy and Alice, and baby boy Arlo, body positive activism, writing, and doing various odd jobs in the local arts & historic preservation communities. We own a darling 1950s ranch house in Idaho’s capital city, where I run our neighborhood public school garden and a pink Little Free Library. I’m always up for having lunch at a new taco truck and seeking out Paint By Numbers paintings at garage sales.
